Boil Dry Protection

A safety shut-off device will automatically activate if the kettle is switched on without sufficient water. If this happens, allow the kettle to cool down for a few minutes before refilling to allow the device to reset.

Cleaning and Descaling

Always unplug the kettle and let it cool down before cleaning.

• Exterior: Wipe with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasives.
• Interior: Wipe with sodium bicarbonate on a damp cloth and rinse thoroughly.
• Filter: Rinse under the tap or use a soft brush.
• Descaling: If limescale builds up, use a suitable descaler. Regular descaling extends the life of the kettle and prevents the element from burning out.

Troubleshooting

• Kettle switches off before boiling: Usually caused by scale buildup. Descale the kettle.
• Kettle fails to work: Check if the power supply is switched on or if the boil-dry protection has activated.
• Water has a funny taste: This may occur after the first use. If it persists, boil water with 2 teaspoons of sodium bicarbonate and discard.
• Kettle forms scale inside: This is normal in hard water areas. Regular descaling is essential.
